Hi all,

Does anyone know off hand what type as the title says ?

I have 6922's and 12AX7's on hand. Just thought I'd ask before cracking open the X-10.

Thanks in advance,

Peete.

They're Nuvistors - they're hard-wired / soldered in. They're not replaceable, without desoldering them, and soldering in new ones - unless, you install tube sockets, to fit some compatible tubes.

Here's some interesting mods...

Musical Fidelity X-10D V3

Found these on Ebay.....

SYLVANIA JAN 6112 VACUUM TUBES NOS - eBay (item 300201825320 end time Mar-02-08 11:14:48 PST)

Would these be a suitable drop in replacement ?

Should be OK...

Here's some more... on the Rock-Grotto site.

Rock Grotto Forum - Mu Vista valves now in stock

If you haven't already... Dig around on the site: Hifi Tweaks, and Forum - you'll find "more than you want to know" about modding MF stuff.

As Gradofan2 stated it is the Mu Vista 6112. Why do you want to replace them? Have you had the unit on for so long you think the tubes are worn out?

The Mu Vista should be good for 10,000 hours.

Note: I did the PinkFloyd Mods to my X-10 V3 and documented it with pictures at: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f21/pi...-10-v3-263134/
